I wish ambien and similar drugs weren't so abused/risky. I hate the stigma that comes along with just having a prescription for some things.

I ain't a damn druggie. I just wanna be able to sleep rather than lay in bed awake for hours and hours to no avail.

Thing is though, these drugs should be used for people who genuinely can't find an alternative. You could be one of those people, but maybe not. It could be some lifestyle changes or something else. Try finding more ways of exhausting yourself, both physically and mentally.

My biggest challenge when sleeping is I can't stop ****ing thinking. I've been reading a lot more again and it's helped a bit. Reading in multiple subjects (I have about 4 books going right now. One for composition, one for fret board theory and logic, one is a sci fi, the other a kind of self-help book) has really helped ease my mind in many areas.

More talking about doctors. Last thing I want is for a doctor to think I'm just a college kid trying to get pills to abuse/sell or something. Don't give two ****s about pharm techs, I'm sure they process hundreds of them a week.
